Online upgrade crash

online OS upgrade caused software crash. got it repaired. loaded OSX10.9.2.
Now should I try upgrade? if yes, then online (very large file) or by dvd (if one is available at all)

There is no DVD upgrade.  And you posted to the wrong forum.  10.3 people usually have no knowledge of 10.9.  Those upgrading to 10.9 or 10.10 have the same issues to contend with as 10.8:
The correct forums are here:

Upgrading tips are here:
http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6131
Crashing says there is something generally wrong with your system, and backing up and isolating the crash cause is advised before any further upgrade.   Upgrading is to enable compatibility for specific applications, while adding new capabilities.   Only do so when all applications and drivers are supported by the upgrade.

  • I have just tried to upgrade to the latest version of itunes, and my ipad was connected to my computer at the time. The upgrade crashed part way through. I now cannot start itunes as it says MSVCR80.dll is missing. Anyone got any ideas?

    I was upgrading to the latest version of itunes, and my new ipad mini was connected to my computer at the same time, try to sync for the first time. The upgrade crashed part way through, and now itunes won't load and I get an error message saying MSVCR80.dll is missing. How do I do about reinstalling this file?

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • My Mavericks upgrade crashed my hard drive and I had to reinstall Mountain Lion.  Now I cannot get any of the apps that I purchased to download.  The icons on the launchpad just say "waiting" no matter what I try.

    My Mavericks upgrade crashed my hard drive and I had to reinstall Mountain Lion.  Now I cannot get any of the apps that I purchased to download.  The icons on the launchpad just say "waiting" no matter what I try.  My app store ID is fine.  What do I do?

    Are you now using a different username from the one you used prior to migrating? If so that is the reason for the problem. You might, then, give this a try:
    To fix Home folder permissions
    Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder.  At the command line prompt enter or paste the following command line:
    sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` ~
    Press RETURN.  You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed.

  • Firmware upgrade crash

    I've recently acquired my first BB, a Curve 9320 and when I linked it to the Desktop Software was enticed into carrying out a firmware upgrade from v7.1 bundle 1319 to v7.1 bundle 2039
    After automatically running another backup, the upgrade crashed and bricked the device, which has had to be replaced under warranty. The replacement has the original firmware version on it!
    Should I be tempted to try the upgrade again, or play it safe and keep what I've got?

    Hey Sawbones,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    I would suggest doing the update from a PC using the BlackBerry® Desktop Software, let me know if you need any assistance.
    Thanks.

  • Pictures in Photo Library or Online are crashed after installing iOS 8

    Hi
    Im using iPhone 5 and a few days ago I update it to be iOS 8, what happened is that images were crashed when I zoom pictures in photo library or even searching picture online. But in the evening it was okay again until now. I don't know what happening with my phone.
    Thanks for reading my issues and I'm very glad to get a response of the idea of this problem.

    Thanks for your reply King_Penguin
    Re your first point - 'Sync collections' was ticked in both the iPad and Mac versions of iBooks prior to these problems occurring.
    Why have recently purchased or installed books been moved to iCloud and moved off my iPad and iMac when previously they were there in my iBooks library collections? They were books I'd read or were in the process of reading.
    More confusing is that on my Mac in iBooks there are books that are fully downloaded and not in iCloud yet the same books in iBooks on the iPad are not downloaded and are in iCloud. After I sync this hasn't changed. To my mind this means that sync isn't working properly or that maybe iCloud has somehow been activated on one device and not on the other?
    Why should I have to re-download books that were already present in my iBooks library on Mac and iPad prior to my upgrades to Yosemite, iOS 8 and the iBooks  apps?
    I have to reiterate that I do not and will not use iCloud and for 2 reasons: it is not secure and Apple uses push marketing to make it difficult for you to not use it.

  • Safari 5.0.2 with OS X 10.6.5 upgrade crashes frequently

    Upgraded my MBP to OS X 10.6.5 yesterday and since then, Safari browser has been crashing repeatedly. I've tried to disable individually the Adblock and ClickToFlash extensions, but the only way I was able to solve was disabling ALL the extensions.
    Before the upgrade (10.6.4), everything was working flawlessly.
    Is anyone suffering from the same problem?

  • Media Upgrade Crashed - Can't Restart

    I recently upgrade to FCPX 10.1.1.  When I started FCPX I got a message about needing to upgrade my files - I clicked OK and sat back - then FCPX gave an error message part way through the media upgrade - I didn't look too closely at the error - but it stopped the upgrade part way through.  It asked if I wanted to move the old files to trash, I said no, and exited FCPX with the intention of starting again - but I don't seem to be able to.
    I've got rid of the new library file and put the events and projects folders back where there were, but FCPX just creates a new empty library and doesn't offer to upgrade media.
    I've done some digging and found a reference to using Event Manager X (which I have) to organise media into separate libraries - this seemed like a good idea (given that FCPX crashed on upgrading one of my events or projects) - but I had the same problem - I can use EMX to hide all or most of my projects and events, but the new FCPX ignores everything - whether there's anything unhidden or not.
    So I see two ways forward:
    how can I get FCPX back to it thinking it is running for the first time (to try and get it to pick up my media in the old file structure again)
    is there a way of simply importing into a new FCPX library the events and projects folders from the previous version?
    Or if those are both daft approaches - any better ideas please?

  • Touchsmart IQ506 Windows 8 upgrade crashed my system-please help

    I have the touchsmart IQ506 and recently upgraded to windows 8. It has crashed my system and I've spent hours on the phone with microsoft. How can I fix my computer? I've reinstalled windows 8 seven times...

    The following weblink will suggest whether HP has tested your system for Windows 8:
    http://www8.hp.com/us/en/ad/windows-8/instructions.html 
    If your system is not tested, HP will not release the drivers directly for your model through HP.com website.
    The following weblink will suggest if your system is compatible with Windows 8:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/upgrade-to-windows-8
    If your system is compatible with Windows 8, most of the drivers would be available through Windows 8 & windows update. If you need any specific drivers, please follow these steps:
    1. In the Run box type devmgmt.msc.
    2. Unknown devices would be listed as such and marked out with a yellow question mark.
    3. Select the unknown device or other device for which you need drivers and right click to access Properties.
    4. In the Properties window click on Details tab and select Device Instance Id  or Hardware ID from the drop down.
    5. An alphanumeric string like this PCI\VEN_1217&DEV_7130&SUBSYS_012F1025&REV_01\4&6B16D5B&0&33F0 is the identification marker for the device.
    6. Please provide this number so that we can suggest the appropriate driver.
    I am an HP employee.

  • OSX 10.6.8 upgrade crashes Safari and App Store

    Hi, I've just downloaded the latest operating system upgrade OSX 10.6.8 and now Safari and App Store crashes upon openning. Is anyone else having this problem?

    It's not wrong, but just occasionally things don't get updated perfectly. Sometimes on this forum, after an OSX point update, people report various issues. Re-applying the update using the combo very often fixes things. The combo contains all the updates since the original release.
    Edited to add - I see it looks like it fixed things, great!

  • Online upgrade not showing the talk free promotion....

    I was upgrading my daughter's phone from a Chocolate Touch to a Blackberry Bold and noticed that if I do it online I don't get the talk free promotion for upgrading to a smart phone.  Is the promotion available online?

    I believe many people have said that it will not show up on your "purchase of the items in the cart" when you buy it. It should automatically show up on your bill, not when you buy the phone. If you go look at the "smartphones talk free" promo details, it should say, at least the one on "newegg.com" clarifies that.

    No ideas from information provided.

  • IPhoto 8.0.2 Upgrade Crashes iPhoto Now !!!

    Hi
    I used the Software Update to upgrade to iPhoto 8.0.2. Everything went smoothly, except that now when I open iPhoto, after about 20-30 seconds, it hangs..
    I have to force quit it every time. I checked Activity Monitor, and the CPU is not being used a lot..its normal and console also doesn't report any activity.
    Does anyone else having this problem? Any resolutions ??
    -Pj

    I noticed the crashing also and thought it was related to one album which i deleted from Mobileme and Iphoto. THat wasn't it and still crashed. Saw a later post that said to use iphoto library manager and rebuild the library, but I am led to believe this is an apple created problem with the recent software update.
    The question is when will we have an acknowledgement and a fix
